Indeed, I haven't tried building on x86 yet, I'll have a look at what
I broke, thanks. :)
That branch is just an outline of the idea at this point anyway. Just
enough for performance measurements, not particularly ready for
review.

Oh, ok, that's interesting. The changes look pretty benign (only
fprobe and arm64 specific code) I'm curious how that would break the
boot uh :p

Thanks for the measurements Jiri! :) At this point, my hypothesis is
that the biggest part of the performance hit comes from arm64 specific
code in ftrace so I would rather wait to see what Xu finds out on his
pi4. Also, I found an arm64 board today so I should soon be able to
make measurements there too.
